It's amazing what can do with powdered mixes that come right off the supermarket shelves. I've always been a fan of the potato pancake mix because it makes it so much easier to prepare this favorite dish of mine. But there are times when I veer off the simple directions on the package and add a thing or two to simulate something gourmet.

For this recipe, I added shrimp to the pancake mix and I couldn't be happier with the end result.

  • 10 pcs, fresh shrimp
  • Olive oil for frying
  • 1/4 green onions, chopped, for garnish
  • Your favorite sauce for dipping

  1. Peel 5 pcs. shrimp, leaving the tail on. Run a small knife along the center of each shrimp (lengthwise). Run the knife diagonally to flatten each shrimp. Set aside.
  2. Completely peel the remaining shrimp and slice them into very tiny bits. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the egg the add the water, mixing thoroughly. Add in the packet of pancake mix and shrimp bits and mix well. Let stand for 10 minutes.

  5. Place one shrimp towards one end of the pancake, making sure the shrimp tail is protuding. Press the shrimp with a spatula onto the cake mix.
  6. Fry both sides of the pancake mix until golden brown, carefully turning it over with a spatula to avoid breaking up.
  7. Remove from heat and place on a plate lined with paper towel to drain excess oil.
  8. Repeat process for the remaining mix and shrimp, adding more Olive oil as needed.
  9. Serve warm and garnish with green onions, with your favorite sauce or dip on the side.
